Companies Act 2014

234. (1) If an officer of a company has reason to apprehend that any claim will or might
be made against him or her in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or
breach of trust (the “wrong concerned”) he or she may make the following application to the court.

(2) That application is an application to be relieved of liability in respect of the
wrong concerned; on the making of such an application the court shall have the same
power to relieve the applicant as it would have had (by virtue of
section 233) if it had been a court before which proceedings against that person for the wrong
concerned had been brought.
